Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 84: And 笄(2)
“The hairpin head phoenix ()”
Lu Mingyu had a lot of dealings with Princess Hui'an in her previous life.
Princess Hui'an is irritable and irritable, with an unruly temperament, and turns her face at every turn.
Prince princes have to respect this eldest sister a bit. With the support of the emperor, Princess Hui'an's confidence is of course very solid. It is common to be mean and make things difficult for brothers and sisters.
The eldest prince concubine Liang has a gentle temperament and never competes with Princess Hui'an. Meng Yunluo, the second concubine, wanted to compete with Princess Hui'an, but her mother-in-law and her husband were not on her side, so she could not support herself alone. The fourth prince concubine Zhao Yu was even more useless.
Only Lu Mingyu never gave in.
Princess Hui'an made things difficult for her, and she was as hot as fire.
Princess Hui'an is mean and tough, her tongue is like a sword.
In the beginning, she had to suffer a bit.
Princess Hui'an is powerful and has a convenient status. When a married aunt goes back to her parents' home, she always has some privilege over others. No matter how powerful she is, she can't beat Princess Hui'an.
Later, when the second prince died on the battlefield, Li Hao was established as the crown prince, and she became the crown princess. Queen Qiao was seriously ill, Emperor Yongjia passed away, Princess Hui'an had no support from her brother, mother and father, just like a tiger whose teeth had been pulled out.
Later, Queen Qiao "died" in the harem. Su Zhaorong became the Empress Dowager Su, and Princess Hui'an's hard days came.
Empress Dowager Su, who has been neglected for many years and wronged, once gained power with sinister and sinister methods. Queen Qiao, Concubine Meng Guifei, Concubine Qin, died one by one in the palace.
Princess Hui'an didn't die, but she was sent to Jingxin Nunnery to eat fast and chanting Buddha because of "disrespecting the Queen Mother" and "speaking evil words". He never showed his face in public again.
……
"Mingyu is very grateful for Her Royal Highness's visit to Lu Mansion." Lu Mingyu saluted, neither humble nor arrogant.
The crowd also saluted along with them.
Princess Hui'an swept her gaze and landed on Lu Mingyu's face, with a light tone: "Miss Lu, don't be too polite, get up!" After a while, she said: "Today, Miss Lu and her concubine, the mother specially asked me to come here. To watch the ceremony, I also brought a congratulatory gift."
A palace maid stepped forward and respectfully presented two brocade boxes.
Lu Mingyu took the brocade box and opened it in front of everyone.
When the first brocade box was opened, it turned out to be a night pearl. That night pearl was the size of a pigeon's egg. At a glance, it is a treasure of priceless value.
In the second brocade box, there is a jade Ruyi. Glittering faint green, it is also not ordinary.
Everyone: "..."
Among the famous ladies in the capital city, who has received such a generous gift from Queen Qiao at the wedding ceremony?
Last year, Qiao Wan was rewarded with some fine silk and a set of exquisite jewelry. Far less valuable than today's rewards.
There are subtleties in this, as long as you are not a fool, you can think of one or two.
Everyone looked at Lu Mingyu, and then another looked at Qiao Wan.
Lu Mingyu looked as usual, smiled and thanked the queen for her grace, and ordered the maid to put away the two brocade boxes.
And Qiao Wan, who was standing aside, had a smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes full of shock.
This, what's going on here?
Why did Queen Qiao give such a generous gift to Lu Mingyu's wedding ceremony? Princess Hui'an was also ordered to watch the ceremony in person! A shocking conjecture suddenly jumped into my mind.
Qiao Wan's pretty face turned pale, her right hand tightly clutching her dress.
Princess Hui'an's gaze swept across Qiao Wan's suddenly pale face, and she felt a little regretful in her heart.
It would be great for my second brother to marry Qiao Wan's cousin! The cousins and sisters of the direct relatives are familiar with each other, and their affection is far better than others. It is a happy event of kissing.
The second brother is determined to marry this rude and scary Lu Mingyu!
What's even more irritating is that the queen mother can't beat her second brother, but she helps out with advice and plans. Today was also urged by her mother again and again, and she reluctantly came to the Lu family.
This marriage, the father has already nodded, and there is no reason to change it.
Poor cousin Qiao Wan is destined to be a disappointment.
Princess Hui'an thought so, she couldn't help but feel a little more angry at Lu Mingyu. She glanced at Lu Mingyu, her voice was cold: "The wedding ceremony has not yet begun, I will wait in the inner hall. Miss Lu Si should go back to the room first!"
This is clearly not planning to enter Lu Mingyu's boudoir.
Shen Lan knew something and could not help frowning secretly.
His Royal Highness the Second Prince is a gentle and good-natured person, but this Princess Hui'an is a bit too much. Come here, but deliberately put on airs. Didn't he tell everyone in public that he didn't like Lu Mingyu?
Lu Mingyu didn't see the slightest bit of embarrassment.
When Lu Mingfang got the news, she hurried over and greeted Princess Hui'an to the inner hall with a smile.
Princess Hui'an was born tall, so she held her head high and turned away without swiping the corners of her eyes.
It fully shows what "defiant" means.
Lu Mingyu returned to the boudoir with a calm expression. Everyone sat for a while, then went to the inner hall together. Soon, only Lu Mingyu, Shen Lan and others were in the boudoir.
Zhao Yu opened her mouth first to break the silence: "Lu Si, why did the Empress suddenly reward you with such a treasure?"
Lu Mingyu's face is magnanimous: "I don't know~IndoMTL.com~ Another day, please come to the palace, please ask the Queen for me?"
Zhao Yu: "..."
Take her as a fool!
Zhao Yu rolled her eyes secretly, and then looked at Qiao Wan again: "Sister Qiao, the empress is your own aunt. You often go to the palace to greet the empress. You should know the empress's intentions!"
Qiao Wan's hands trembled slightly, but her face was much calmer, and she replied with a smile: "Sister Zhao really asked the wrong person. I haven't been in the palace for a few days to greet me. Besides, what is the Queen's heart? You and I can guess at will."
As expected of the well-bred daughter of the Qiao family, she was so shocked and sad, and she didn't make a fool of yourself.
Lu Mingyu glanced at Qiao Wan and sighed inwardly.
I didn't mean to steal your sweetheart.
In fact, without me, you wouldn't be able to marry the second prince.
Qiao Wan also raised her eyes and met Lu Mingyu's. Lu Mingyu's eyes were a little complicated, and there was even a hint of guilt.
This look made Qiao Wan's heart tremble again.
The girls here are not stupid. At this time, they are all pretending to be confused.
Jin Can'er didn't know what to think, a hint of shyness and joy flashed in her eyes.
Meng Yunluo's heart was filled with strong sourness.
After the palace banquet that day, she entered the palace to greet her and met her aunt, Concubine Meng. Concubine Meng Gui gave a few meaningful hints. She thought... that she would be the second prince concubine.
The second prince is a descended prince, and his status is noble, so there is no need to elaborate. Gentle, personable, and handsome as jade. For such a handsome young man, she secretly thought of marrying, and it was not something she was ashamed to say.
Unexpectedly, she waited and waited, and did not wait for the following.
Queen Qiao's daughter-in-law was actually Lu Mingyu!
